TO SETTLE ALL TROUBLES
THE CITV AND TIIK STRICIvT
RAILWAY COMPANY.
A Proposition Hade to tUe Board
By Superintendent Patton and
a Committee Appointed to con
aider it.
A sicc!ul meeting uf the Joint Hoard of
Aldermen and Advisors was held in the
Recorder's ofliee at 11:30 today, at
tended by Mayor Dlanton, Advisors
Cummings, Bcardcn, Miller, Williams
and Hunt, nnd Aldermen Startles, Mc
Dowell, Leonard und Baird.
The meeting was called for the pur
pose of hearing propositions from Capl.
W. Patton, the new superintendent
f the Asheville street railway, looking
to a settlement of the differences that
have existed between the company and
the city for months past. Capt.
I'atton prefaced his proposition with
the remark that war is better than
peace, and expressed the hope that the
city and the company might come to
some agreement whereby the paving of
the city's streets might be pushed. lie
referred to the suits now In the courts,
especially the oue in which the city asks
lermission Irom the supreme Court to
institute suit against the company for a
lorteiture 01 its charter. II the citv is
successful in this motion, Capt. I'atton
said, it means another long una tedious
fight in the courts. It was his desire, as
well as the desire ot Receiver Maddux, to
stop as nearly as possible all the suits
now pending.
Uipt. I'atton proposed that both par
ties stop all suits; that the costs so far
in the suits be paid by the parties insti
tuting the suits, and" that the citv Dro-
cccd with the paving between the tracks,
doing the work it sell and charging the
company therefor; the nmonnts to U.
paid by the company in such install
ments ns the Board might fix upon.
Capt. I'atton said Receiver Maddux
realized the company's liability for the
paving between the rails, but according
to justice nnd equity he did not think
the company should be made nave enrh-
tccn inches on either side of the track.
So far as he (Cnpt. I'atton) was con
cerned, he would be willing to make up
a case agreed on the in inch question, to
be submitted to the Supreme court, but
Mr, Maddux desired to operate the hues
without hiring a lawver. it it were pos
sible to do so.
Mr. Cummings asked Capt. I'atton il
the Board might not lc held responsible
by the people if it should waive the IS
inch clause of the Act.
Capt. I'atton replied that had faith in
the people of Asheville and did not be-
icvc the Board would be held responsi
ble in this case. Speaking of the
I'utton avenue extension Cnpt. I'atton
suid he did not know Mr. Mad
dux's plans, but so far as he
was individually concerned, he would
rather not see the track put buck on the
avenue. He refcrrrcd to a suggestion
made in Tin; Citizkn a few days ago, as
to the running of the line over West Col
lege and in rear of the government build
ing and thence to I'atton avenue, us a
possible way of obviating the necessity
ol replacing the I'atton avenue track,
provided that amicable arrangements
could be made with President Carrier, of
the West Asheville and Sulphur Springs
company.
W hen Captain ration had stated his
asc, Mr. Cummings moved the appoint
ment of a committee of four, to consult
with Messrs. Maddux, I'attou und Car
rier, to endeavor to agree upon some
basis of settlement of the question. This
motion carried, by unanimous vote, and
Mayor Itlnnton appointed Messrs. Cum
mines, Williams, Leonard and Stai nes
on the committee.
This committee held a consultation
with the gentlemen named thisaltcrnoon
nnd will make a report to a special meet-
: t ,l. i . ... , . .
ini: 01 inc oini nonro. tomorrow nt iu
a, m., which meeting every member is
urged to attend.
The case in the United States court has
been postponed to await the action of
the Hoard, and il the company s propo
sition is accepted the suit will be quashed
SCANDALOUS I.IKS.
Talented Swindler Threatens
to Blackmail Two Ladles.
Nkw York, Nov. 15. The talented
young swindler known as "Lord Charles
Somerset Bcrrcsford" and also as "Wal
tcr S. Bcrrcsford," -'Sidney L. Asccllcs,"
Walter Iiaton" und "Win. Bond," who
is now serving a term of six years in the
Georgia State prison has been detected
it is said, in a plot to blackmail two
prominent New York society women,
Although ,'icrrestord is behind the bars,
he threatens o publish in some newspa
pers in New York, Chicago and other
places scandalous stories reflecting upon
these ladies unless they puy him $2,500
as hush money, lie first made this at
tempt last September and was met by a
lawver of this city, who, with the as
sistance of some central office detectives,
captured Berrcsford at Albany. He was
afterwards sent back to deorgia, where
he was wanted lor swindling operations
in Rome, Ga. He was sentenced to six
vears imprisonment, but this has not
prevented him from seeking to injure the
New York women mentioned, whom he
now threatens with exposure. It is said
by the attorney wbo represents these
victims of Bcrrcsford that the stories
which he is trying to sell to the news
papers are scandalous lies.

Munich, Nov. 13. Prof. Pcttcnkofcr

numbers of cholera bacilli, and yet, but

A FATAL DROP.
Nell, Murderer of Several Women,
llauited.
London, Nov. 15. Thomas Neil, oth
erwise Cream, the murderer of Matilda
Clover and tcvcral other girls, paid the
penalty of his crimes at nine o'clock this
morning.
Shortly before nine o'clock authority
to hang Neil was handed over by the
ligh Sheriff of the county of London to
Iangmnn ISilliugton in accordance with
the legal form. At three minutes to nine,
Uillington, accompanied by an assistant
who carried the pinioning material, en
tered the cell of the condemned man,
where he found the prison chaplain min
istering to Neil. Without a moment's
delay the hangman, while courteously
asking permission ot the condemned
man, deftly nnd rapidly pinioned him,
passing a broad bell around Ins waist
and securing his elbows with two straps
ightly drawn back and fastened to a
belt behind. Strnps were placed around
the wrists and connected with the body
belt in front. This rendered Neil abso-
utely incapable of moving his arms or
hands. The condemned man did not
utter a word during the process which
asted barely a minute.
The prisoner then walked firmly ncross
the prison yard. When the scaffold,
with all its horrid paraphannlia sudden-
burst on Niel s view he shut his eyes
lor a few steps, bnt opening them ngnin
walked firmly to his place ot death with
out a tnmir, The chaplain read
the service of the Church of
Jnglmid and continued so doing until
the lust moment, Neil was conducted
by the hangman under the beam of
the scaffold over which the noose
ling. Stooping deftly the hangman
pinioned the culprit's legs with leathern
strnps and then placed the white cap
over his face and the noose around his
neck. Stepping aside the hangman drew
bolt, the flooring unJcrncath'Neil gove
way and with a jerk he fell. There was
slight quivering ol the body, one or
wo spasmodic jerks and the most cal
lous prisoner of modern times had paid
the penalty for his brutal crimes.
the liKiucst was subsequently held in
conformity with the law when the usual
verdict was given.
Mr. Walters, solicitor lor the prisonrr
nt his trial, was unable to obtain his
legal expenses aid accordingly was
riven to the expedient of selling the
man's effects.
lust prior to the cap being drawn over
his face Neil thanked the prison officials
for their courtesy and kindness.
MRS. MAVBKICK
Her Cause Seems to Have Been
Hurt by ;all Hamilton
Washington, Nov. 11. The petition
asking for the pardon of Mrs. Maybrick
and signed by Mrs. Harrison, the wives
of the members of the Cabinet, including
Mrs. Blaine, and many prominent ladies
all over the country, was forwarded to
ingland, and ultimately found its way
to the ofliee of the Home Secretary. The
lictition received a semi-official charac
ter by being forwarded through the
State department and the Pnitcd Stales
nation in Loudon, and the respone to
t was communicated direct to this gov
ernment by the British ofiicials. This
reply, which has not been made public,
is reported to be exceedingly caustic in
its terms, so much so in fact, as to cause
Gail Hamilton, in her last letter on the
subject, to refer to it as "senseless, vul
gar, and brutal insolence toward a
friendly Republican nation pleading lor
its own citizens." The response is said
to characterize the petition as the most
impudent paper that has ever found its
way to the office of the Home Secretary
and wholly unprecedented.
Importunities arc still made at me
State Department to interest itself in
Mrs. Maybriek's behalf, but it is proba
ble that further efforts in this direction
will be confined to individuals and be of
:ui unofficial character.

Wby is Tbclr Money Held Back?
Gt'TiiKii:, Okla., Nov. 15. There is
danger of an outbreak of Arapahoe and
Cheyenne Indians who, with the winter
coming on, are on the verge of starva
tion. This is said to be the fault of the
government to a great extent. The
rations issued to the Indians have been
reduced and their money has been held.
If something is not dont to relieve them
they will kill stock belonging to white
sett lers, then a war will break out that
the whites hope will be one ot cxteruii
nation of the Red men.

PRKHIUENT CLEVELAND NOT
TO CALL ONE
He Thinks It Would be IToI'iUchh,
And Wants Time to Look Over
Tbe Uround Before Havlug Con
Kress ou Ills Hands.
New Y'ork, Nov. 10. The Sun this
morning says: "1 he Suu is permitted to
announce authoritatively this morning
that it is the present determination of
ex-President Cleveland not to call au ex
traordinary session of Congress after his
inauguration, March 4lh next.
"It is further announced that in the
estimation, at present, of Mr. Cleveland
and his closest frieuds, an extraordinary
session would turn out to be a profitless
proceeding. His friends say Mr. Cleve
land must have time after his inaugura
tion to look over the ground."
NO PROHIBITION.
The New (Governor of Kansas Is
Not Uolng To Enforce l be Law.
Toi-EKA, Noy. 13. Excitement pre
vails in prohibition circles through
out the Stale over the statement
that Governor-elect Lewclling will do
all he can to render the Prohibition
law a dead letter on his entry into of
fice. He promised the Democrats dur
ing the campaign that he would wipe
out the Police Commission system which
was inaugurated several years ago
for the purpose of taking the govern
ment out of the hands of mayors incitiis
where people rebelled against the prohib
itory law and permit the police affairs
to revert back into the hands of themay-
ors. 1 heuovernor-clcct said today that
either the "joints" had to be closed in
W ichita, Leavenworth, and other cities
or they should be allowed to run in To
peka, and as public sentiment was
igainst their closing in those cities, the
same freedom should be granted here.
Already men are preparing to open
saloons in Topeka. They say they can
do so and be unmolested. The mayor
is a Democrat and the new judge and
county attorney are resubmission Repub
licans, and would probably not be radi
ical in the punishment of violators. Two
saloons were opened in Port Scott yes-
terday, and the police commissioners ot
that city have agreed to resign their
places and to desist in the further exc-
ution of the prohibitory law. Many
leading Republicans of this city declared
today that they were through with pro
hibition. Said one: "Iowa was swamped
by it, and now Kansas goes down under
the hypocritical banner. Prom this
time on the Republicans of Kansas will
let it severely alone." N. Y. Sun.
ELECTION FRAl'DS.
Both Parlies In Kansas City Want
to Ferret Them Out.
Kansas, Citv, Mo., Nov. 15. The
wholesale disfranchisement of voters in
this city last Tuesday by the recorder of
votes, has resulted in a combination of
both purtics toward ferreting out pal
pable election frauds. The Republican
committee and citizens composed of both
parties met last night ami adopted a
plau calling on District Attorney Ncal to
present the matter to the Pedcral grand
jury now in session. More than 400
nliidavits have been secured by the con-
gressional committee in addition to
larger numbers taken by the county
committee. All these will be presented
to the citizens' committee, while the
United States Attorney General will be
asked to take cognizance ot a number of
cases in which evidence is now ready to
be presented.
One of the documents which is ready
to be hied with the tcdcral grand ury is
a list of 36 deputies appointed bv Re
corder Owsley to poll precincts nnd upon
whose evidence the board ol revision
struck off names. It is proposed to be
gin with disfranchised voters nnd trace
each name to that point where it was
dropped from the precinct poll books.
Then to ascertain whether the
recorder, clerk or deputy is responsible
and in this way to definitely determine
where the blame shall rest.
